Out: The Inside Story of President Clinton's Impeachment by
David P. Schippers As a former Chicago prosecutor, David
Schippers thought he had seen everything-treachery, double crosses, sellouts.
But what he saw behind the scenes at the Clinton impeachment shocked him to his
core. This is his story- the story from a man who knows more than anyone else
about what went on behind closed doors leading up to the impeachment of
President Clinton. David Schippers, the former Chief Investigative Counsel of
the House Judiciary Committee, and a loyal Democrat, went against his party,
the press, and public opinion to build a powerful case against the most corrupt
President in American history and bring him to justice. But in this startling
book, Schippers shows how the entire impeachment process was what Chicago
politicians call a "First Ward election." In other words, a rigged ball game, a
tank job, a sellout. And he tells you who took the dives. |

outrage about Bill Clinton's misconduct. With enormous skill, the president and
his advisors have constructed a defensive wall built of bricks left over from
Watergate: diversion, half-truth, equivocation, and sophistry. It is a wall
that has remained unbreached. Until now.

(1998) VHS Video The four-hour exchange

Monica's
Story by Andrew Morton
"This book exists because the Monica I came to know has no
relation to the image projected by the Starr Report and the mass media. The
Monica I discovered is a bright, lively, and witty young woman who bears the
scars of her continuing public shaming, but remains undefeated. This moving
human story compelled me to look again at the woman whose name is known around
the world but whose life is still a mystery." --Andrew Morton |
